I have uploaded new TWoS v2.2 installer to be tested primarily with the Steam version of the game.

Of course, comments of captains with regular version of the game are also welcome...:yep:

Also, it would be nice if someone with Steam account post this info on Steam/SH5 forum...


New installer (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=4861)

Thanks a lot. Can we upgrade from 2.1.2 or shall we need a clean install first ?

After some brief testing, everything seems to be working properly. The installation process is much more streamlined - well done.

HI Vecko.

I see the full installer. I'm not an Steam player.

Do you think in an update from 2.1.2 to 2.2 for users of 2.0 plus 2.1.2?

Many thanks for all the work!

Hey very nice! So the Steam conversion tool works the way is implemented?

You were able to update your game to official v1.2.0 before you started with TWoS installation, right?

I actually a week ago refunded my steam version (surprisingly they approved it!) and bought a copy from Amazon, specifically to use this mod :doh:

Sorry I'm not on Steam, but for a non-steam user the installer worked great for me. Much simpler hassle free install and so far it's running great.

The version Steam provides to me already seems to be v1.2.0. I simply made a clean install and then used your installer.

Uninstalled and reinstalled SH5 with TWoS 2.2 (Test). NOT STEAM.

All working fine. My Campaign with 2.1.2 loading OK with 2.2.

I noted:

- The new "MODS" folder for JSGME is in the main SH5 directory, with the name "TWoS_Parts". Here I pasted the Rusted Glory mod (not included in TWoS but compatible with it).

- The GUI glass dials for SH3 style GUI is not included in the installer. I use my mod from the addons for 2.0. It seems an involuntary omission from Vecko.

High TC working very well. I continue to use my own limit of 256 max. I like to play slow.

Many thanks and best regards.

Installer works well. So far the only things I noticed was that the mods go in the TWoS_Parts folder and indeed the two missing mods rusted glory and the glass dials. But the installer works well and I am happy the jgsme editor as well as the tdw generic patcher work perfectly with it. Added several smaller mods to the folder (uniform mod for instance) and no problems

I use an already patched to v1.2 ISO version of the game.

Hi Captains,

Congrats for the new TWOS 2.2.1 ! Love this mod, fantastic work !

I tried to install the megamod from a fresh STEAM version, but it didn't work.
The installer opens and unzip all the files, then it ask me if i want to run the steam updater, i do so. The window opens and at the end it says "there is an issue with the SH5 REGKEY". Do you know how to fix the problem?

Thanks a lot

EDIT : I find the solution. It was my fault, i didn't properly update the game to 1.2 version. My bad :-)

 Now, click "File" - "Restore snapshot" and double click TWoS 2.0_Snapshot.gps file.

Check if you have the SH5 folder as exception in your AV and Firewall.

Also check the "security" (securitá), of all files in SH5 folder. All should have rights of administrator, not only SH5.exe.

Verficare se tutto il folder "SH5" ha diritti di amministratore. Anche, verificare se tu hai eccezioni per tutti i files in SH5 folder, in firewall e antivirus.

Pare che TDW patch non puó soprascrivere alcuni files. Protetti contro scrittura?

I seems TDW patch can´t overwrite some files. Are they protected for overwriting?

Hello Everyone,

I purchased SH5 through steam and immediately noticed it was buggy. Found my way here through the steam community.

I'm guessing the solution to my problem will be a simple fix due to something I'm doing wrong. Keep in mind, I'm not a computer guy, so if you're going to ask me questions, you're going to have to dumb them down considerably.

I download and installed the TWoS v2.2 and followed along with the instructions in the pdf. Installation went just as tpredicted in the instructions. However when I try to run the "TWoS KSDCommander.exe" I get the following pop up "KSDCommander.exe must be located in the root folder of the game. The program will be closed."

So what do I do?

The root folder is where the SH5.exe is . Where ever you installed the game .
Default Steam path is :

LocalDisc C/Programfilesx86/Steam/SteamApps/Common/SilentHunter5

Do you have it in another location ?

I waited up to 10+ minutes... check task master, an it shows sh5 as locked up, not doing anything.

Just for clarification, before this, I had TWoS ver. 2.2.5, I believe it was, installed with following TheBerbster's walkthrough, and it worked. When I found out about the update to 2.2.7, I though ok, great.... I d/l'ed & went with the updater 2.2.X to 2.2.7 deal... an ran into issues with that, same issues as with the 2.2.7 steam install standalone version... and now, it is unplayable.

If it was running fine with 2.2.5 version, you should deinstall SH5, delete your documents/SH5, clean up with Ccleaner, and re-install everything fresh with the full download 2.2.7 :yep:

Just to clarify, when I initially posted, had been up for a good while... so when I said in it, of seeing the Ubi load screen.. I misspoke... for that, my apologies... I was tired, upset & majorly frustrated... any way...

That said...

What is that expression about 3 times & all...?? I digress..

After deleting & ensuring that any & all files, folders, etc. associated with or for SH5 were indeed finito, CCleaner ran, I then proceeded to re go back through d/l & install of SH5, ran it, shut it down, then went through the install process of TWoS 2.2.7, I can finally say that I got it to run & work as it should... :)

3rd time around...

That is all...

Thanks so much for this!

Just was able to install via Steam and install this mod pack in just a few minutes!

Only problem I had was I needed to exit/finish the install and start the Generic Patcher later since the SH5.exe was still open by the Steam Converter apparently.

Otherwise it was smooth sailing! Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this! Reading about the tWoS mod made me buy Silent Hunter 5.
I have played it a few days now and I must say I enjoy it. Though there are ofcourse still some bugs here and there. But nothing game breaking.

But I wonder if someone else has same graphical glitches like me: A few times I see some black smoke dots far away on the ocean. They disappear and re-appear sometimes.
It's somewhat immersive breaking for me.

I also wonders what the tWoS haven't fixed that I could get with a mod using the JSGME.

So I installed SH5 for the third time this week with the TWOS mod and latest update file. I followed all instructions very intensely. I was very happy to finally see it all work after battling to get it right. I played for about two hours, enjoyed the game and was very much looking forward to playing it again tonight.

Sadly when I got in and tried loading the game it failed. I then investigated the sh5.exe file to see steam had somehow decided to rename it and it was whited out. I restarted Steam which then proceeded to get a 500MB update.The game then loaded back up, initially with the TWOS graphic but without the black 5 min pause screen. Instead when the in-game menu appeared it was the standard menu.

So I am now re-installing for a 4th time. I have looked at all Steam options to try avoid any conflicts from within Steam itself.

I’m pretty eager to get this game to work with some stability as I would like to delve deeper into TWOS. So would really appreciate some solid advice.

Thanks in advance

One thing I did with my Steam SH5 install was immediately after I got it installed and let Steam do any updates, I copied all of the files inside the SH5 folder and pasted them into a new folder that I named "TWoS", since I was going to install the mod in that copy. I then added the SH5.exe to the Steam Start menu (and changed the shortcut's name to "TWoS") so that it would update its "license" via Steam when I played. I then did my TWoS install.

So I ended up with
"C:\Games / Steam / SteamApps / common / Silent Hunter 5 /"
and
"C:\Games / Steam / SteamApps / common / TWoS /"
both with identical files, until the TWoS installation is performed in the TWoS folder copy... :salute:

I’m going to make a copy of the Silent Hunter 5 Folder and rename it TWOS along with the sh5.exe in that specific folder which ill rename twos.exe. Hopefully that way steam can mess with the sh5.exe but won’t notice the other twos.exe in the other folder.

After reading other posts here on Subsim the developer of TWOS seems very helpful and has gone to extreme lengths to get this to work right, so I can only imagine it's an issue with Steam.

Well The_Hunter, I left the SH5.exe file alone. I renamed the short-cut for it on the Steam Start menu is all I re-named... what you're planning might work, although I'm not sure the Steam security will like it... :hmmm: :salute:

It appears that all along it was my antivirus software removing the sh5.exe file as it considered it a threat. I'm now going to re-install and remove the sh5.exe from my antivirus's hit list when it again flags up and see if that solves the issue.

BTW I did turn my anti virus and firewall off during the mod and update installations but it obviously detected it once the antivirus was reactivated.

Note to other people using Steam and possibly others. Once you re-activate your antivirus either remove sh5.exe from any future scans before or after its picked up as a virus.

Hi TH
Depending on your AV the problem might return especially if you have any updates.
The best solution is to open your firewall tab and make your SH5.exe an exception.

I run the Steam version of SH5 and TWoS 2.2.15 under AVG Internet Security with full anti-virus active and full firewall control on at all times. My Steam and SH5 installations are not installed on my main C:\ drive

Steam updates I have received only appear to be updates to the Steam application and not SH5, so the updates also have not affected my system, or the SH5 installation. :up:

I think my issue is solved now. I simply opened the file with Insight and asked it to trust sh5.exe and its all working.

Time to tackle some tutorials.

Hopefully this thread still gets some traffic…

I’ve installed SH5 on my steam deck, finally got past the uplay issue and have updated it to v1.2. The installer worked fine, but I am stuck on the TDW generic patch. I get error messages and am never able to see the mods. Doing some searching it looks like the patcher doesn’t work with steam? If so, then how would this TWOS installer ever be good for a steam copy?

I feel like I’m missing something.

Thanks!

Install TWoS and you will have an Steam patch.

Wonder if it’s a Linux thing then…

I can’t get the mod working. I hit a dead end at the TDW generic mod portion. Errors, and I can’t ever find the 9 patches.
